Cefuroxime Expired

## I WAS GIVEN THIS FOR A SPIDER BITE. I AM NOT SURE WHAT THE DRUGS PURPOSE IS. I THINK IT IS A STERIOD TO REDUCE INFLAMMATION. DOES THIS SEEM CORRECT? ## I am living in China so I always like to check things out ASAP when ever I have to see a doctor here. Anyhow my daughter, who is almost 18 months had a fall today and broke her collar bone. X-ray showed a nice clean break no problem so he recommended a brace which I expected but for some reason he also prescribed Cefureoxime Axetil 125mg. I of course just Googled this and I'm a bit surprised at him giving her an antibiotic. I don't speak Chinese but and my wife not knowing medical English just said it's supposed to help her blood. Considering the overuse and abuse of antibiotics in China and considering I have found no cre......

How long does Cefuroxime remain in your system? ## How long after the last dose does Cefuroxime axetil 500 mg, twice a day, last in the body until it is completely gone? Thank you. ## How long does it take for Cefuroxime 500mg to leave your system after the last dose? ## I’ve been taking Cefuroxime for ten days now but my body is very warm. I’m planning to stop now and am wondering how long this medication will stay in my body? ## The serum half-life of Cefuroxime is only 1 to 1.5 hours, full bodily clearance takes 5, or 6 half-lives, so it should be out of your body in just 5 to 7.5 hours. The FDA warns that Cefuroxime may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, diarrhea, and non-allergic skin rash. Ref: Cefuroxime Information Is there anything else I can h......

Cefuroxime and Ciprofloxacin antibiotics - Are they the same drugs? Do they have the same ingredients? ## Hello, Candy! How are you?

Is there anything else I can help with? ## Does ciprofloxacin have ceftin, as I am allergic to ceftin? ## I want to know if I can take a tablet of ciprofloxacin in the morning, then switch to cefuroxime at night?

I took this for 10 days for a sinus infection, during taking this I developed a cough, couldn't talk, didn't think much about it just thought it was from being sick..i also developed a rash..been off this medicine for two weeks and still have a very itchy rash.....on my back..stomach area..ect..how long does a rash from this mess last? ## Shirley, an itchy rash could be the sign of an allergic reaction, so you should have it checked out by your doctor. You may need treatment for it and it could mean that you cannot take this medication, again, in the future. The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash, and diarrhea. Has there been any change yet? ## My daughter in law is a nurse. She asked a dr about it who sai......

I need to know if this drug is an antibiotic? ## I need to know what this medication is used for? ## Please see the page Drugs/Cefuroxime for more information about this medicine. Thank You! ## I misread the prescription of my doctor. Instead taking it two times a day, I only took cefuroxime 500mg once a day. It's already been four days since I found out. What should I do?...

JUST AN ANSWER, PLEASE. ## Yes, the white, oblong tablet with 303 on one side and LUPIN on the other is a 500mg Cefuroxime tablet, it's an antibiotic that's used to treat various types of infections. Learn more Cefuroxime details here. Side effects may include nausea, dizziness, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Are there any questions or comments? Is there anything I can help with? ## Can you break a Lupin 303 pill in half? It's a 500 mg and it is just nasty tasting. It leaves a bad taste in the back of my throat for hours and burping brings the taste back. I took it in halves one time but I'm not sure if its safe. It doesn't say anything about it on my prescription bottle. ## I have a sinus infection what shood I do...

Cefuroxime was a 10 day antibiotic. How many days does it take to leave your system after treatment? ## I'm also curious to find out how long this drug will be in my system? ## Antibiotics tend to have rather short times of duration in the body, which is why they must be taken regularly, over a certain period of time, to fully eradicate the bacteria being targeted. The half-life of Cefuroxime is only 80 minutes, and full bodily processing takes 5 to 6 half-lives, so 6.6 to 8 hours, though there may be slight variations depending on the length of time it was taken, and your individual body chemistry. The FDA lists the typical side effects of Cefuroxime as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, diarrhea, and non-allergic skin rash. Ref: Cefuroxime Information Is there anythin......

The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, diarrhea, and non-allergic skin rash. Yes, it has also been known to cause Tachycardia, but it usually goes away, once someone finishes their course of treatment.
